> my vision of the new man is of a rebel, of a man who is in search of his original self, of his original face. a man who is ready to drop all masks, all pretensions, all hypocrisies, and show the world what he, in reality is. whether he is loved or condemned, respected, honored or dishonored, crowned or crucified, does not matter; because to be yourself is the greatest blessing in existence. even if you are crucified, you will be crucified fulfilled and immensely contended. a man of truth, a man of sincereity, a man who understands that people are blind, unconcious,asleep, spiritually asleep.

Their intentions are good but their consciousness is missing; they are fast asleep. They don't know that they are being puppets in the hands of a blind force called the society, the establishment - all the vested interests are together.
> It is strange that the people who love him don't love him as he is. They say to him "we will love you, we do love you, but only if you follow the religion we are following, if you become obidient the way we are obedient"
> Disobedience is the original sin - and then society takes revenge with great vengeance. This creates fear...
> They are also unconscious, your parents, your teachers -- don't be angry with them. They are also victims like you.

man is always exploited through fear
the greatest way to create fear is to make man feel guilty about natural things, he cannot drop them, and he cannot enjoy them because of fear of hell, so he is in a double bind. The double bind is the base of man’s exploitation
respect simply means looking again, re-spect
what do they want? they are beggars, you should not be angry with them because that is what they want. you should not condemn them because that is what they want
